Reading
the beginning of this class, let’s watch a video. From it, we know that when a nation is in trouble,
the people all over the world will give a hand. And we also know that when a destructive disaster
happens, medical aid is especially important to the injured people.
Today we’ll read a diary entry of a nurse who works for an international organization that
provides medical service around the world. After that, I’m sure you’ll have a better understanding
about what can be done to help poor people in poor areas.
2. Pair work: Have a discussion about the following questions:
Have you ever heard of an organization called MSF?
What does MSF stand for?
What does it mean in English?
Who do you think the members of MSF are?
What do you think the members of MSF do?

About MSF:
The MSF role in emergency medical aid
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international
humanitarian aid organization that provides
emergency medical assistance to populations in
danger in more than 70 countries.
In countries where health structures are
insufficient or even non-existent, MSF collaborates
with authorities such as the Ministry of Health to provide assistance. MSF works in
rehabilitation of hospitals and dispensaries, vaccination programmes and water and
sanitation projects. MSF also works in remote health care centres, slum areas and
provides training of local personnel. All this is done with the objective of rebuilding
health structures to acceptable levels.
Raising Awareness
In carrying out humanitarian assistance, MSF seeks also to raise awareness of crisis
situations; MSF acts as a witness and will speak out, either in private or in public
about the plight of populations in danger for whom MSF works. In doing so, MSF sets
out to alleviate human suffering, to protect life and health and to restore and
ensure respect for the human beings and their fundamental human rights.
Only a small percentage of the populations that find themselves in a situation of
danger gain the attention of the media. MSF teams travel to places that many people
have never heard of, to assist those who have fallen victim to natural or man-made
disasters. MSF volunteers have a story to tell when they return from their missions,
and they use their experiences to speak of what
they have seen. For MSF, raising awareness for
these populations and the situations they are in is
an important task. Whenever possible, MSF
volunteers give interviews and make presentations.
MSF offices worldwide facilitate the organization
of gatherings, for individuals and groups who want
to speak in their home communities. MSF also
mounts exhibitions and, from time to time, releases
publications, with the aim of raising awareness.
It is part of MSF's work to address any violations of basic human rights
encountered by field teams, violations perpetrated or sustained by political actors. It
does so by confronting the responsible actors themselves, by putting pressure on them
through mobilization of the international community and by issuing information
publicly. In order to prevent compromise or manipulation of MSF's relief activities,
MSF maintains neutrality and independence from individual governments. The
organization also tries to ensure that the majority of funds raised for its work comes
directly from contributions from the general public. In this way, MSF guarantees
equal access to its humanitarian assistance. MSF has been setting up
emergency medical aid missions around the world since 1971.

Answers
1. The nurse and the other members of the medical team set up feeding centers to make
sure that people get food, check the health of babies to make sure that they put on
weight, give vaccinations to stop children dying from measles, and set up a clinic to
take care of injuries. They also have to bury the dead bodies as quickly as possible to
stop disease spreading. In addition, they listen to and comfort people.
